**Background**
Sourced from The New Naturalist The Sea Shore by C.M. Yonge, Regius professor of zoology in the University of Glasgow, published 1959 by Readers Union Collins. D. P. Wilson was a pioneering underwater photographer who developed specialized techniques for capturing marine life in their natural environments, often working in challenging conditions to document these rarely-seen underwater worlds.
Marine worms play crucial ecological roles in ocean ecosystems, with some species capable of regenerating entire bodies from small fragments, making them subjects of significant scientific interest.
